Deutsches Haus

The series shows no real sense of the authoritarian spirit of the early sixties, before the public recognition of the Holocaust, not least through the Auschwitz trials in Frankfurt depicted here. As is unfortunately so often the case with historical series, the current taste in history is catered to, which unfortunately makes the characters appear historically implausible. The same goes for the chemistry of the main figure and her fiance.

A wasted opportunity.

The two film adaptations of the life of the Hessian Attorney General Fritz Bauer, on whose initiative and persistence the aforementioned Auschwitz trial took place, are much better done and should be watched instead.

I definitely recommend this show because of different reasons.

The show is an impressive piece of cinema (although it is a mini series).

Character development is done with a lot of empathy and patience. Actors adding an authentic play to this really emotional story.

Sometimes it is not what they say - more how they say it (or not)

Technically it is brilliant as well. Every shot has its purpose and the light is always a support to the scene. Sounds and even silence are well done and also with a purpose.

Although the history is well known and a lot of movies were made - this one contributes in a unique way.

The show is based on a book called "The German House", I stumbled upon the show in Disney+ and had to watch all 5 episodes. The show is a heavy watch but definitely worth it.

While the show and the book are both historical fictions, I felt like it portrayed the German and Polish sentiment after WW2 accurately and vividly.

The cast and acting were great and the dubbing into english was better than usual, but I advise adding english subtitles as well. In many cases when Polish is being spoken, it isn't dubbed to english and I relied on the closed captions.

Overall, I think the show was great and I plan on reading the book shortly.

I really wanted to watch this series. Why doesn't Hulu offer it dubbed & in German. I will not watch a dubbed movie, it destroys the performances.

I would imagine this says much about Hulu's concept of their average users. Besides the fact that streaming brings us back to TV before cable. You are forced to sit through constant advertising, with no option to face forward. We need DVR service on our streaming services. The consumer continues to be subject to the whims of the streaming services.

So I cannot review this film because of the dubbing!

Would it be so difficult to offer both versions? We are paying for these services!

A dramatic look at the in-between generation of German children, born in the 1930s, who were never told the truth about Die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus (the Nazi times). Eva is an Posish interpreter who is learning about the horrors through the testimony of witnesses in the Frankfurt trial of mid- to lower-level SS personnel at Auschwitz-Birkenau in the early 1960s (Der Auschwitz-Prozess).

Search Hulu for "Deutsches Haus" for the German version. Both the German and (dubbed) English versions are available. The dubbed version is not worth watching because it does not accurately translate the German. The English captions in the dubbed version are correct, but it's hard to listen to the discrepant audio that goes with them.
